be able to afford the costs of owning a gas powered vehicle. However‚ the depletion of resources is the least to worry about; the use of all gasoline yields carbon dioxide. This carbon dioxide rises into the atmosphere and slowly tears away at the ozone layer by reacting with the chemical: ozone. As the ozone layer depletes‚ more of the sun’s harmful and heating rays penetrate the Earth warming it. If too much of the ozone is depleted‚ the globe’s average temperature will rise and throw nature off

CFC Destruction of Ozone - Major Cause of Recent Global Warming! Robert A. Ashworth pdf. format for printing [pic] The animation illustrates how one chlorine atom in the stratosphere can destroy up to 100‚000 ozone molecules. Graphic credit goes to University of Alaska Abstract There has been a lot of discussion about global warming. Some say anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions caused the earth to warm. Others say there is no abnormality at all‚ that it is just natural

Ozone depletion‚ greenhouse effect‚ and acid rain are man-made disasters. The ozone layer is the part of the Earth’s atmosphere which contains relatively high concentrations of ozone (O3). The cause of ozone depletion is the presence of Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and related halocarbons gases in the atmosphere. In the presence of Ultraviolet light‚ these gases dissociate‚ releasing chlorine atoms‚ which then go on to catalyze ozone destruction. The greenhouse effect‚ on the other hand‚ is a natural
